Distinguished in supplying and processing rebar

There's a relaxed atmosphere at the company I get to visit today. We are here because we are curious about the reasons behind their success. At Palmax Infra & Bouw, they specialize in the supply and processing of rebar, and director Canip Ilhan tells us what makes his company so special.

"You know why I go to work every day with a smile? Because of the mentality and commitment of our people, we keep getting positive feedback from our customers. Of course it's all about the quality of our products and our service, and they are very good. But it's also about people and our employees are the link between Palmax and the customer. We are fortunate to have a stable base of foremen and braiders who consider quality and safety of paramount importance. Our customers benefit from this, because all these factors make us the reliable partner one needs in large, and small, infrastructure projects."

What makes Palmax unique in the reinforcing steel market is the fact that they both supply steel and also process it themselves. Through a strategic takeover of Tilborghs Betonstaal BV, they have given themselves this distinctive position. With this, Palmax has taken extra steps in terms of decisiveness, while remaining flexible and committed. Full of energy, Canip continues, "We focus on the full breadth of the market and so you are welcome to come to us for both a relatively small job and a mega project. The latter naturally appeal more to the imagination of the Dutch infrastructure-building community, and I am proud to announce that we are intensively involved in the construction of both the new sea lock in Terneuzen and the widening and strengthening of the Afsluitdijk. Tight planning, good communication and keeping to the agreements made are enormously important in projects like these. We also distinguish ourselves in the market because we always work with our own people. This gives us 100% control over the process, quality and safety. Palmax simply excels in rebar."
